Good question.

I have to answer the question 2 different ways. One as HC Jay Gruden and another as Generic HC.

If I were Jay I would start Kirk Cousins or Colt McCoy. And I wouldn't have waited for this training camp. I would have made my intentions clear prior to this offseason. I believe right or wrong any organization needs to be of 1 accord, 1 vision. And to that end I would have spoken to Scott, Bruce and Dan and told them "Look, you hired because of the offense I ran in Cinci. I think Kirk/Colt and the weapons we have we can have a very good offense. I thought Robert could be a fit in the offense I intend to run but I was wrong*; with Robert I cannot run my offense. But we have a chance here to move forward and have a very successful offense with Kirk/Colt."

Now if I was the HC I would start Griffin. 100%. But I would have taken a completely different approach then Jay and this franchise took. We would not be running a West Coast Offense variant. We would be in year 2 of a spread zone read offense.

*I don't believe Jay every really gave it a chance but that is beside the point
